The Pierces

Camera flash and the lights go out
I forgot what I was playing about
People come and people go
Where they go nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Everybody's talking about the latest buzz
I wasn't listening to what it was
Pay attention, the tension grows
Where it grows, nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Nobody shows you if they love you
They try so hard to be above you

Everybody's looking at the pretty boy
The one who's making all the noise
He don't read much as it shows
Ladies don't love him for what he knows
For what he knows
For what he knows
For what he knows
For what he knows

He never shows you if he loves you
He only tries so hard to be above you

It's getting late so I turn in
Nothing happened yet again
I'm just waiting on love to show
Where it is nobody knows
I'm just waiting for love to show
Where it is, nobody knows

Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows
Nobody knows

Nobody shows you if they love you
They only try so hard to be above you

Lalalalalala

Passion can be
As quiet as a whisper
In your head
Pain can be
So silent you won't even
Know it's there
If rage could be
So soft
I might stay here
With you
If you could see my heart
It might turn
Your eyes to blue

But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than
It is to know
I wanna see you fly
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye

God is as good

As he is kind
As he is just
He knows just how I feel
Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
But I want a bigger cup
This one won't hold enough
A love and painted heartache
And other fancy stuff

But I've gotta let you go
It's harder to learn than
It is to know
I wanna watch you fly
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye
It's easier to hurt
Than to say goodbye

It's gonna hurt
When I say goodbye

So I've come to this final conclusion
I will not wait around
For you to break my heart again
Now I understand
What a fool I've been
I will forgive you but
You know I can't forget
Because...

I'll be dreaming of
The nights when I would lie awake
And stare into
The light behind your eyes
I have run into
The trap you set before me, blind
And now my love
Cannot seem to hide

And now I sit and talk
Through all the confusion
I cannot now remember
Who the hell I am
You're not the only one
Who created an illusion
I knew I'd find
My place, in time

I'll be dreaming of
The nights when I would lie awake
And stare into
The light behind your eyes
I have run into
The trap you set before me, blind
And now my love
Cannot seem to hide

I'll be dreaming of
The nights when I would lie awake
And stare into
The light behind your eyes
I have run into
The trap you set before me, blind
And now my love
Cannot seem to hide

Baby, baby
I could not believe it
When I found the letter
You left it on the table

I couldn't miss it
At least you coulda hid it
I guess in a way
You did me a favor

It's all about how you
Loved to smell her skin
While she's sleeping
How you loved to touch her

Something about
Some ciggarette, somewhere
But I don't smoke
Do not smoke
Do not smoke
Do not smoke

Baby, baby
Do you call her baby?
Bet you're gonna get it
But I heard you say she's pretty

Do you curl up
Cozy by the fire?
Maybe I should tell her
That, baby, you're a liar

Didn't mean to wake you up
Lay down your sleepy head
Didn't mean to wake you up
Go back to sleep and dream
And dream of her holding
Dream of her holding
Dream of her holding

Baby, baby
Let me tell you something
One day you'll be sorry
One day you'll be bitter
I hate to be the one
To break it to you
But that girl is a bitch
Don't forget I'm finished

I didn't mean to wake you up
I didn't mean to wake you up

I didn't mean to wake you up
Lay down your sleepy head

I didn't mean to wake you up
Go back to sleep and dream of her
Dream of her holding you
Dream of her holding you
Dream of her holding you

If it makes you love me more
To put one foot out the door
Step outside

And if you feel wild and free
When you're out away from me
Run away

'Cause I can hear it in your voice
In a sweet fever rush
When you look at me and say
That you love me there and then

Blood on my hands and my body
Blood that washes clean, like water
Love that cuts so deep
It heals me

I wanna love you more
If you would open up the door
And step outside

Blood on my hands and my body
Blood that washes clean like water
Love that cuts so deep
It heals me

If it makes you love me more

Girl I want you
Right where you are
Just hold it there don't move
My shining star
You must not know exactly what you mean to me
So deeply, completely you got me and I'm needing your love

When your feeling lonely
And you need someone to love you babe
You can always trust me
Cause baby I can take you high
Whenever you need me
Girl it can be just you and I
Cause girl you are so lovely
So tell me can I take you high, high, high

I've been meaning to tell you goodbye
But I can't seem to let you go
Girl I thought it was just a fling, now what we have is so beautiful
We were keeping it on the low and now I don't care if anybody knows
That i love you so deeply, completely I gotta tell you so

When your feeling lonely
And you need someone to love you babe
You can always trust me
Cause baby I can take you high
Whenever you need me
Girl it can be just you and I
Cause girl you are so lovely
So tell me can I take you high, high, high

So Lovely, your love
You've inspired my heart
When you kiss me I blush
Feels like I'm in heaven when we touch
Cause you are soo much

This problem is a decade old
My longing has been oversold
I've been repaid a thousand fold
But still I wait for more

A gentle pull, you bring me down
A hazy gloom, my glimmer drowns
Hands will ache and hearts will pound
At my chamber door

And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be...
So I can just know you'll be...
You'll be alright

Forgive me, take my back to sleep
Cling to me but let me weap
A gentle spirit starts to creep
Now it's running fast

And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be...
So I can just know you'll be...
You'll be alright

Tangled in the hearts of men
Pondering my deadly sin
Roll me over, breathe me in
Live on me for a while

And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be...
So I can just know you'll be...

And I just wanna be right
But I can't stand to see us fight
And I don't wanna see you cry
When I know I am the reason why
And I just wanna feel free
So I can just know you'll be...
So I can just know you'll be...
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright.

Now no time to discover
All the things we were gonna be
And no way to recover
All the pieces of you and me
Now my life is calling
With no way to tell where it's going

Maybe you'd want me back this time
And maybe you'd stay
Maybe you'd want me back this time
But baby, I say

I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

I know that somewhere inside me
You're not totally gone
But I've not yet decided
If it's right or it's wrong
Now it seems you're calling
Leave a message after the tone

Maybe you'd want me back this time
And maybe you'd stay
Maybe you'd want me back this time
But baby, I say

I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

Who's to say what happens next
Momma told me never to say never
Who's to say what happens next
Who's to say I'll feel like this forever

I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing
I feel nothing

He treats me fine, but I could be better
You bring the wine and I read your letter
I'm on my own, feeling like a liar
I'm almost home, but I'm getting tired

You never could look back
You never would look back
Because
I don't need you and you don't need me
I don't need you; you don't need me

I said goodbye, but I just regret it
Let's make things right, but you'll never let it

You never could look back
You never would look back
I don't need you and you don't need me
I don't need you; you don't need me

I don't need you and you don't need me
I don't need you; you don't need me
I don't need you; you don't need me
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you, I don't need you

One for the lover and one for the lost
Oh the price of sin
One for the sinner and one for the love
I'm in

One for tomorrow and one for the life I've led
One for the sorrow and one for the love in my bed

And one for me
And one for me
And one for me

One for the giver and one for the take
And the guilty head
One for the woman and one for the snake
Who is dead

One for the mother and one for the child
To begin again
One for the meek and one for the mild
Who give in

And one for me
And one for me
And one for me

Three steps forward
Two steps back
For one more I keep on

One for the liar and one for the trust
Ignorant bliss
One for the metal and one for the rust
To resist

And one for me
And one for me
And one for me

In the middle of the night
I got me a little light
It burns on

I can feel it changing me
I can see what I believe
I get turned on

Open up and breath it in
It'll come around again
It burns on

And you're not that far behind me
And you're not that far behind me

The space that I'm under
Is making me wonder
What is out there

When gravity frees me
It will release me
Into the air

Suddenly I have new eyes
Got my baby by my side
It's so pure

I wanna watch my lover shine
Did you know that you are mine?
And I'm yours

And you're right there beside me
And you're right there beside me

The space that I'm under
Is making me wonder
What is out there

When gravity frees me
It will release me
into the air

I'm trippin' on starlight
Everything's all right
Everything's all right

And I feel...
And I feel love, love the world
And I feel love, love the world
around me

The space that I'm under (The space that I'm under)
Is making me wonder (Is making me wonder)
What is out there (What is out there)

When gravity frees me (When gravity frees me)
It will release me (It will release me)
Into the air (Into the air)

I'm trippin' on starlight (I'm trippin' on starlight)
Everything's all right (Everything's all right)
Everything's all right (Everything's all right)

Don't you walk away from me
Because I know that this is where you want to be
I will listen to your stories
But do you think I will want to heal?

Oh, the way the way the way you talk about her
Oh, the way you look at me
Oh, the way the way you hear my whispers
Oh, the way, the way, the way

And all I want is what I cannot have
Why does it always seem to be this way?
Oh, I will take what you give, take what you give to me
But it's not good enough, not good enough

Oh, I want the way the way you talk about her
To be the way, the way you talk about me
Oh, the way the way you give yourself free
Oh, the way, the way, the way
Yeah

When will I ever learn?
The one thing that draws me near to you
For peace is not out of my reach
Just drawn inside until I open my eyes

I know the way I always do this to myself
Only makes it harder
But I love the way the way you give yourself free
Oh, the way the way the way

Oh, I want the way the way you talk about her
To be the way, the way, the way you talk about me
Oh, the way the way you give yourself free
Oh, the way the way the way

Maybe I should've known, my baby
To leave you alone, maybe

Maybe I should've known
I should've known
I should've known

Oh, but you couldn't stay, now could you?
Oh, you wouldn't say, now would you?

Oh, but I should've known
I should've known
I should've known

When the world is on your back
and life is anticipating
Well if you think it's love you lack,
mine's here waiting

Oh' but I'll let you go
I should've known to let it go

And you didn't know, now did you?
That I'd fall in love with you
Oh, but now it's too late
It's useless to say

I should've known

What will you do now?
Everyone has gone home
Leaving in quiet
And leaving us to be alone
I waited too long to say
I tried to pretend
I only want you to stay

If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it

The day is through now
Doesn't feel right
I can't stand the quiet
So I lay awake
All through the night
We'll journey on
And just let it play
Don't ever let it end
I only want you to stay

If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it

Wait for a moment
But there's nothing that
I can say to you
So go if you wanna
There's nothing left
For me to do

If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it

If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it
I don't mind it

If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it
I don't mind it

If just for tonight
Don't let me go
I won't mind it
Maybe it's right
We will never know
I don't mind it
I don't mind it

How can you just sit there with that look upon your face
When you know that I have one at home that you can't replace?
You tell me that we shouldn't but you'll have to show me how
'Cause your eyes are saying something else and I want it now

But you're right
You're so right
I just had to tell you, baby
I want you tonight
Yeah, you're right
You're so right
But I had to tell you, baby
I want you tonight

I got to say I saw this coming from afar
'Cause, darlin', you're so beautiful, you know you are
Ever since that day I saw you walk into this place
Well, it's done something to me I can't erase

But you're right
You're so right
I just had to tell you, baby
I want you tonight
Yeah, you're right
You're so right
But I had to tell you, baby
I want you tonight

I saw it coming and there it goes
I saw it coming and don't you know...?
Don't you know...?

That you're right
You're so right
But I had to tell you, baby
I want you tonight
Yeah, you're right
You're so right
I just had to tell you, baby
I want you tonight

I didn't know that I would love you like I do
I didn't think that I was ready to
But there's something about the way you take my hand
It's like I never touched a man

And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
You make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you, I unravel

I didn't know that love would fill me up so good
I tried before, but then, you know, it never would
But there's something about the way you call my name
Now I'll never feel the same

And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
You make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you, I unravel

And when you hold me, I feel more and more a woman
I never knew that I could feel so free
(x2)

And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
You make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you

And it's a beautiful thing
You make me shy and
You make me proud
It's a beautiful thing
You make me laugh out loud
And when you pull me to you, I unravel

I didn't know that I would love you like I do
I didn't think that I was ready to

You can't fight
To make it better
You can't cry..
And hope that this won't end
Some say love
It is forever
But all I know
Is that we're just friends

So,
I'll give it all back
I'll give it all back
To you
I'll give it all back
I'll give it all back
To you


Now you know me
Like no other
And you know when
I'm telling lies
So you believe
If you wanna
But you know I
I wanna say goodbye

You can't fight
To make it better
You can't cry
And hope that this won't end
Some say love
It is forever
But all I know?
Is that we're just friends

Yeah

(so, I'll give it all back, I'll give it all back?)

I heard about it last week
That you were thinkin'
About leavin' me
Oh you can be so sweet
But you can be such a stubborn girl
When you wanna be

Louisa
Won't you think it over
Won't you think it down
Louisa
If you won't think it over
Will you wake me up
When you come around

Don't you know you're my best friend?
I've been havin' such a hard time
Makin' new ones
I guess everything comes to an end
I had you for a moment
Now you're gone

Louisa
Won't you think it over
Won't you think it down
Louisa
If you won't think it over
Will you wake me up
When you come around

You see I'm afraid
That you'll go far away
And raise a family that I'll never see
Don't you know
I need to see your face
(to see your face, to see your face)

I heard about it last week
That you were thinkin' about leavin' me
Oh I want you to be happy
But I can be such a stubborn girl
When I wanna be

Louisa
Won't you think it over
Won't you think it down
Louisa
If you won't think it over
Will you wake me up
When you come around

Will you wake me up
When you come around

Will you wake me up?
When you come around
